Forums - Sony Discussion - Predict the Edge score for GoW3

those monkeys would give GOW3 a 9(same as UC2) if they are honest, no chance of that however, i'm predicting a 7 or 8. Reason? Now that they have returned to being a 'credible' review source for the misinformed masses, there's nothing stopping them from fulfilling their mission.

8/10, because that's probably what the game deserves.

Why do you say this ? Did you already play the game ? The GoW series is one of the few that is a 9++ imo.

How on earth are we supposed to guess this without having played the game ourselves?

My feeling is an 8 or 9 however.

Actually it's a fun exercise to do on this site :)

According to a hypothesis you would not need to know how the game plays like, but should consider other factors which people in the thread have listed (console on which the game is published, hype, 'originality' and others).

Except that in my view EDGE reviews the actual game, not the hype, platform of choice or other such factors. Those are just sad excuses from people that doesn't share the taste of EDGE reviewers. 

I respect your opinion but don't you think that some reviews are way off compared at least to mainstream? FFXIII at 5 while metacritic is in the 80's, MGS4 8, Heavy Rain 7 - just noticing a common trend in under-rating some games, which tend to have some things in common.

What's the point of reviewing a game if you're supposed to be in line with everyone else, not express your honest opinion? I haven't played FFXIII but it looks quite slow and boring to me so an average score like an EDGE 5 is could very well be right. MGS4 is a 7 for me so EDGE were higher there, and Heavy Rain while a very interesting experience it was a bit like an updated Dragons Lair, 7 is fair.

So I don't really disagree with EDGE in these cases, but sometimes I do.

I'm glad that EDGE dares to have a different opinion sometimes, even though they get a lot of hate for it as is very apparent in this thread.

Doesnt deserve more

How could you possibly know this?

@Gab - dude there's a huge difference between sharing the taste of Edge reviewers...and a retarded review. FFXIII deserves higher than 5 based on production, story, music and polish alone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinnion and I respect Edge, but this is a huge attention whore move.

How do you know this,  have you played the game? Story seems really cheesy and ridiculous, music mixing good and terrible. I haven't played the game so don't know about the polish, but production values are abviously very high. This is great and can increase enjoyment, but that alone does not make a good game, or even a decent one.

Yeh man....I imported the game two days after the Japanese release. I beat it just last week. Wouldn't say it deserves a certain score if I hadn't.
